What's up! I wanted to know which HD resolution is better? 720P or 1080i on my PS3?

Question

Hi I have 38"Philips HDTV/LCD with native 720P & I'm using gold HDMI 1.a cable cord from Belkin. I use my PS3 for gaming & watch Blu-ray movies. I wanted to know which HD resolution should I set it on my PS3 settings? 720P or 1080i? I called Charter & they say 1080i because it has more lines then 720P & 720P it is NOT enough pixels or something he said. Thank's!

Answer 1

1080i is the best it has more pixels clearer look and better.

Answer 2

1080i. trust me. it's better.  

Answer 3

The first two people got confused with 1080i and 1080p.....720p looks better, sharper and does not flicker like 1080i. 720p is enough pixels ther only few games out that are 1080p most are 720p...look at the back cover of the games.

Answer 4

Charter is stupid and is wrong. 720P is way better than 1080i. "i" means interlated and only uses half of the pixes (540) and the other half (540) is white lines. They flicker every constantly to make it appear 1080 resolution. If you pause a movie on 1080i resolution the picture will be kind of blured. This would not happen for 720p or 1080p b/c they are progressive.

I have a ps3 and use 720p over 1080i. Better and crisp

gameplay.

Oh yeh since your using HDMI, go to setting --> display settings---> RGB Full Range (HDMI) and switch it to Full. Better colors for your games.
